Howdy ladies and gents. I guess I didn't do a good enough job promoting the return of the diary. I simply jumped on the thread that had 3,600 views stating that the diary was down, and changed the link in my signature along with a few discrete ads on CL.
In the last few days I've received numerous PMs and emails from folks that didn't know about the new diary's return and new address. Guess I should give myself a failing grade on marketing the return of the cowboy's diary. It was down for a number of weeks due to some apparent issues with the terms of service, but after all the kind support and encouragement from the many readers here from cerb and other venues I decided to setup shop at a new home on the internet...
if you haven't been there yet, check it out and bookmark http://www.cowboysdiary.info, be sure to tell your friends and family too. (ok maybe not your family)
pardon me for this shameless plug :)
